Largest Snow Fort

The SnowCastle of Kemi in Finland has been built annually since 1996 and is considered to be the biggest snow fort in the world, covering over 150,000 square feet. The building takes five weeks to assemble using snow made from the area's seawater (natural snow is too soft). Past castles have included a hotel, restaurant, and chapel.
